Sorry to hear, my best for a full recovery without paralysis. Really.:rolling:

I am an owner and a renter. Security deposits are psychological ploys, nothing more, a way of attempting to keep in check rental abuse. If you are an owner you know, or will quickly learn, that you are gong to get one renter a year or so that costs you thousands of $$$ in damage. If you aren't...

They are not their own masters. As long as the FedGov pursues a policy of attempting to create "home ownership" for those who have no business owning a home, expect to see more of the same.

None of which are the least bit comparable to the impending devastation of SoWal real estate values as the oil spill moves from catastrophic to ecologically irreversible. Let's review the numbers for June, July, August, the prime buying months...after the oil hits the beaches here.

Added to the fact that long term rentals have been eaten up by those who have been, or taken a strategic, foreclosure.

Excellent work! All white walls rule! Now if we could have a little roof color :)

If we put the NAHB and the National Association of Realtors leadership in the same room and forced them to procreate, we would have a massive infusion into the populous of three eyed, flipper armed retarded cretins spawned from these kissing cousins.. The unsolvable problem is that the Central...

Many folks had no choice but to make SoWal vacations since Lessors by and large refused to accommodate refund requests. The remainder of the summer will better foretell the damage by the spill and the number of cancellations.

:shock: Surgery. Death In the family (requiring relocation or extended visit). Cancer or similar treatment requirements. New job... ...and a slew of other legitimate excuses.

The banks heavily frown on open-ended CLs. They want an assurance that their interim money will be just that...interim. They will want to see a mortgage as a takeout, a bonded Contractor, all environmentals up to date, a pristine title, etc. ad infinitum. So will any prudent PI.

Is he a repeat client? If so, then you have to weigh the future value of his business against the potential loss in the present. If he isn't, then do not allow the cancellation. Remember, he may very well be canceling on you...but re-booking with a competitor who has dropped their rates due to...

Be careful with ULPs covering vacant land. "Vacant land" in ULP terminology is often defined as "unimproved land" where unimproved may mean no sidewalks, no rough grading. no utilities stubbed, no tree removal, etc etc etc. Best to seek an expert in the insurance field who deals speifically...

Perhaps you mean "unenforceable", Entirely depends on the construct of the policy which, I reiterate, is why one should find an insurance agent who specializes in unimproved property insurances. Regardless of the trespassing, one can still be sued for many, many things that trespasser could...

You can acquire a rider to an existing P&C policy or purchase a separate policy from an experienced IA. Not Gecko. :eek: I would suggest that you seek experienced land development counsel as well. You are obviously getting in over your head to ask such very, basic questions...on a forum with...

Hardly. Planned with purpose.

When you purposefully (or not) limit public parking, you purposefully (or not) limit public access to public (and private) beach. Private beach owners pay more in taxes than a gadzillion beach permits that might be sold. They carry more political clout and in this day of requiring law...

Suppose by next Friday or so, if the solutions to stemming (not eliminating the oil flow which cannot happen for another couple of months) are unsuccessful, would you grab BPs $5,000? There might come a time when $5,000 would be a better deal than a long, extended unpredictable lawsuit that may...

If you have a set of plans and a chosen building lot, then select several GCs and submit for a preliminary cost estimate. Choose GCs that have had success in the subdivision you are building if possible. Asking for endorsements from a forum is inherently problematic. You have no idea what the...

I go to SoWal by following two of the original architects of Seaside. One was a neighbor, the other a GF's father.

I have residences in the 30A corridor and in Naples. I you are interested in staying warm then there is no choice (save this last, miserable winter :D). The Panhandle is cool to cold Fall, Winter and a part of Spring. I have had winters in Collier/Lee County where I rarely took my shorts off...

I'm confused. :blink: Are you looking for seclusion and privacy?

Correct. Just stay seaward of the Mean High Water Line and create no obstruction or hindrances that would violate the private property owners rights. Which are guaranteed by the State Of Florida. The only issue with the private property sign is he had the wrong flag. :D

Entirely possible depending on the US Supreme Court rulings upcoming.

Having a recent survey unverified by FDEP is valueless. Having a recent, verified survey without proper markers to visibly set aside your littoral properties is valueless. What is valuable is staked, separated private property that a sheriff can easily determine has been trespassed. Then and...

Altruistic but potentially very costly. How will you feel when a person you have never met trips over a beach chair landward of the Mean High Water Line put there by a person who you never met, breaks a leg, and you get sued by an attorney you never met? :confused: If you are a condo...

:idontno: Make what numbers work? As rental properties? As long term "investments"? People buy when they have money (financing) and perceive value. They don't buy when "things are right" if they had, we wouldn't have seen so many zillions of wasted $$$ spent on overvalued properties between...

You can't. If you are buying in a development that is not well established, you're playing Las Vegas without the showgirls.

I have put into mine a stipulated sum that covers any out of pocket costs for an early termination.

Unless it is a violation of your contract with her, tell her you are going to rent and that any sale will be subject to the Lease Agreement in place. If I am your Lessee, I am going to demand the sign be removed and no showings of the house until the last 30 days of the LA. Your Agent...

Careful, Careful ! It is illegal to receive but not pay a Finder's Fee to an unlicensed individual. If you pay her anything, it will be construed as part of the real estate transaction, as it should, since it is. You wouldn't be giving her a gift for no reason. Well,if you are, I would like...

:wave: Wanna buy my place in Alpharetta so you can always have a place to return to? :clap:

I believe you have missed the marketing call for Alys. Alys will attract Buyers who like the Alys product.Alys has no direct competition. The better question is how many unique, Alys Buyers are there? My guess is that good times or bad, not enough to meet reasonable sales goals over a typical...

Alys is a development that I have a love/hate relationship. I admire the Developer, his team, concepts, etc. Takes a good set of "hangars" to do what they did. Their commitments to sustainability are laudable...especially considering the somewhat unknown saleability when combined with the...

Well, clarity is often clouded by sincere but emotional goobledegob. :lol:

I'll tell you as I just received the findings regarding the establishment of the MHWL on several hundred acres of inland, tidal mangrove swamps. The state agency specifically that deals with these findings is the Survey and Mapping of the State Lands, Div of FDEP (Roy Maddox, Lead). They used a...

Private surveys will have to coincide with FDEP surveys otherwise you have an argument as to metes and bounds and who owns what (clouded or uninsurable title = no debt financing)). The Florida State Supreme Court agrees with you.

I was the co-owner and Lead Instructor for several years of the school after a career in the 80s as intelligence and military operative.

Anyone that has land that I am allowed to keep when I default on the payments, please immediately PM me. :rolling:

10% to 50% of what she saved you. ;-)

I would suggest that you are going to find yourself in quite a legal quandary if you deny the right of access to the water which is granted by statute (littoral rights). I would also suggest that you be certain you are truly seaward of the MHWL by the most recent coastline survey. Lastly, since...

My bet is that the owners are attempting to set in motion a public denial of access. If that is accomplished, a legal argument exists that the public has not had continued access so no easement has been grandfathered.
